The unfading popularity of Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) attests not only to the particular appeal of his luxuriant painting but also to the universal themes with which he worked: love, feminine beauty, aging, and death. The son of a goldsmith, Klimt created surfaces of ornate and jewel-like luminosity which show the influence of both Egyptian and Japanese art. Through paintings, murals, and friezes, his work is defined by radiant color, fluid lines, floral elements, and mosaic-like patterning. With subjects ranging from sensuality and desire to anxiety and despair, all this iridescence is also suffused with feeling. Klimt’s numerous images of women, characterized by curvaceous forms, tender flesh, red lips, and flushed cheeks, were particularly charged with passion, at a time when such frank eroticism was still taboo in Viennese upper-middle-class society. This book presents a selection of Klimt’s work, introducing his pictorial world of decoration and desire, as well as his influence on artists to come.

구스타프 클림트 (1862–1918)의 변하지 않는 인기는 그의 호화로운 그림의 특별한 매력뿐만 아니라 사랑, 여성미, 노화, 죽음이라는 그가 작업한 보편적인 주제에도 증명합니다. 금세공인의 아들인 클림트는 이집트와 일본 미술의 영향을 보여주는 화려하고 보석 같은 빛의 표면들을 만들었습니다. 그림, 벽화, 프리즈를 통해 그의 작품은 빛나는 색, 유액선, 꽃의 요소들, 그리고 모자이크와 같은 무늬로 정의됩니다. 관능과 욕망에서 불안과 절망에 이르기까지 다양한 주제들로 인해 이 모든 광란은 또한 느낌으로 가득 차 있습니다. 그러한 솔직한 에로티시즘이 비엔나의 중상류층 사회에서 여전히 금기시되던 시기에 곡선적인 형태, 부드러운 살, 붉은 입술, 상기된 뺨으로 특징지어지는 클림트의 수많은 여성상은 특히 열정으로 가득 차 있었습니다. 이 책은 클림트의 작품을 선별하여 장식과 욕망의 그림 세계와 앞으로 다가올 예술가들에게 미치는 영향을 소개합니다.
